LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
OF
C)
I
WILLIAM S. CORLETT
I, WILLIAM S. CORLETT, of Lemoyne, Cumberland County,
""~-:
Pennsylvania, being of sound mind and disposing memory, do hereby make this Will, hereby
revoking all my former Wills and Codicils:
Article One: Tangible Personal Property:
91.1 I bequeath all my tangible personal property to My Wife, Elsie R. Corlett, ("My
Wife"), if she survives me. If My Wife does not survive me, I bequeath all of such property to my
children, per stirpes, to be divided among them in as nearly equal shares as they agree. In the event
of irreconcilable disagreement among my children, they shall take alternate turns selecting individual
items with the oldest child making the first selection. Any items not so selected shall be sold and
the proceeds shall pass as a part of my residuary estate.
91.2 To the extent practicable in the Executor's sole discretion, I bequeath any
policies of insurance on such property to the beneficiary entitled to such property.
91.2 I direct that the expenses of storing, packing, shipping, insuring and delivering
any such property to the beneficiary entitled thereto shall be paid by the Executor as an
administrative expense of my estate.
Article Two: Residue:
92.1 I devise and bequeath all the residue of my estate of whatever nature and
wherever situated to My Wife, if she survives me. If My Wife does not survive me, then the entire
residue of my estate shall be divided and distributed to my children, per stirpes. As of the date of
this Will, I have seven living children: Carol Corlett Howard of Harrisburg, P A; Nancy Lynne
Kulchycki of Silver Spring, MD; William Southard Corlett, Jr. ofSebattus, ME; Mary Louise Higgs
of Arlington, VA; David Harding Corlett of Raleigh, NC; Judith Ann King of Berwyn, P A; and
Robert Cannell Corlett of Silver Spring, MD.
Article Three: Appointment of Fiduciaries:
93.1 I appoint My Wife as Executrix of this Will. If My Wife is unable or unwilling
to act or continue to act, for any reason whatsoever, I appoint my son, William Southard Corlett, Jr.,
as first, contingent Executor. If William Southard Corlett, Jr., is unable or unwilling to act or
continue to act, for any reason whatsoever, I appoint my daughter, Mary Louise Higgs, as second,
contingent Executrix. All references herein to the Executor shall mean my originally appointed
Executrix or my successor Executor or Executrix, as the case may be.
Article Four: Provision for Debts and Expenses:
94.1 I direct that any of my legally enforceable debts, any expenses of my last
illness, funeral and burial, and any of the administrative expenses of my estate shall be paid from the
principal of that portion of my estate disposed of by Article Two of this Will.
Article Five: Powers of Fiduciaries:
95.1 No fiduciary under this Will shall be required to give bond or other security for
the faithful performance of the fiduciary's duties.
95.2 Any such fiduciary shall have the following powers, in addition to those given
by law:
95.2.1 To invest in, accept and retain any real or personal property, including
stock of a corporate fiduciary or its holding company, without restriction to legal
investments;
95.2.2 To sell, exchange, partition or lease for any period of time any real or
personal property and to give options therefor for cash or credit, with or without
security;
95.2.3 To borrow money from any person including any fiduciary acting
hereunder, and to mortgage or pledge any real or personal property;
95.2.4 To hold shares of stock or other securities in nominee registration
form, including that of a clearing corporation or depository, or in book entry form or
unregistered or in such other form as will pass by delivery;
95.2.5 To engage in litigation and compromise, arbitrate or abandon claims;
95.2.6 To make distributions in cash, or in kind at current values, or partly
2
"
in each, allocating specific assets to particular distributes on a non-pro rata basis, and
for such purposes to make reasonable determinations of current values;
~5.2. 7 To make elections, decisions, concessions and settlements in
connection with all income, estate, inheritance, gift or other tax returns and the
payment of such taxes, without obligation to adjust the distributive share of income
or principal of any person affected thereby;
~5.2.8 To disclaim any interest I may have in any estate if the Executor
deems such disclaimer to be in the best interests of my estate and the beneficiaries
thereof;
Article Six: Provision for Taxes:
~6.1 All estate taxes, inheritance taxes, transfer taxes and other taxes of a similar
nature payable by reason of my death to any government or subdivision thereof upon or with respect
to any property subject to any such tax ("Death Taxes"), and any penalties thereon, shall be paid
by the Executor out of the principal of that portion of my estate disposed of by Article Two of this
Will.
Article Seven: Miscellaneous Provisions:
~7.1 As used in this Will, the term "Internal Revenue Code" shall mean the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, or the corresponding provision of subsequent
law.
~7.2 If any beneficiary hereunder should die within thirty (30) days after me or within
thirty (30) days after any other person the survival of whom determines his rights hereunder, then
such beneficiary shall be deemed to have predeceased me or such other person for all purposes
hereunder.
IN WI1NESS WHEREOF, I, WILLIAM S. CORLETT, have hereunto set my
hand and seal to this, my last Will, typewritten on five (5) sheets of paper, including the self-proving
